I'd imagine they are no worse than some of the rabble that jumped on the bandwagon when McFraud was here.......

Its a free country, I don't subscribe to their viewpoint but I've a friend who's in it and I don't think of him as a racist. At the end of the day I can see how people get disillusioned with modern Britain and the society created by a decade of Blairist rhetoric and policies, its just I'm not inclined to subscribe to this route of action.

From what I've read about the EDL (in the respected anti-racist magazine Searchlight, for instance), whilst not all of them are racists, some of them are. And the police are on record as saying "Really, there was no intent to protest. I think they knew that the community was very much against them coming to the city, which...potentially would generate violence". Whilst it is a free country, I don't believe this should extend to provoking violence.

I can't get the link to work either, but I wouldn't want my club to be associated with it...

The whole of Aylesbury was on lock down in May when these scumbags dragged their knuckles into town.

Their entire motive was to provoke confrontation with the local coimmunity. To the great credit of the Police and hard work of people accross our peacful multi-faceted community they failed.

Good riddance to them and I hope they never come back.

I don't know what was contained in the link but I hope that all the good work that the club has carried out re-establishing itself in the hearts of the Boston Community does not become tarnished by their association.

As usual another facist group intent on pinching our flag for thier racist intentions.

You only have to go on YouTube to see the EDL at it's "best"

i have "acquaintances" who are in it and have to say they are the most bigotted rascist people i know , veterans of the National Front and British Movement . They have no interests in protesting or debate and only attend rallies hoping for trouble .

Whether or not whoever owns the flag is "hardcore" or just jumping on what he perceives as trendy foreigner baiting only they know . Those on here old enough to remember the National Front know the mentality of some members , i remember being at a gig by The Specials 30  years ago and listening to some talking about going on a March the next day with the NF . I swear a fair few only join these extreme groups to make themselves appear "hard" to their mates
